Canine Caviar
 

I know several members feed this to their dogs and are very happy with it.
I am having a difficult time finding a limited ingredient kibble form a company that I can trust..

Can someone tell me where Canine Caviar is Manufactured ?
Do they have their own facility ?
Recalls ??
For dogs with food sensitivitys/allergies ,how did this food help ?

Yes , I have emailed the company but have no idea when they will respond.

I thought I might get some faster answers here.. :)

Thank you ...

They are located in Calif. I have had my little yorkie on it for almost 10 months and she is doing great
Just go t their website cannie caviar.com for more information

Thank you.. I am glad your dog is doing well on it..
I did check out the website and it does say the headquarters is in CA but other that not much info..

I also posted on their FB page , maybe I will get some answers there..:)

I'm glad you asked this question bc I knew that CC doesn't make their own food. Petsumer Report Review of the Month

Hi-Tek makes CC dry food. CC canned does not contain carrageenan anymore, but guar gum instead. Guess what? Evangers makes their canned food! I just picked up a few from the boutique today...will be returning those. I don't trust Evangers...wish CC would make their own food, it's already expensive as it is. I also like that CC is a limited ingredient. It's a raw dried meat flash cooked in a dry kibble. No GMO & hormone free, all USDA grade ingredients.

I picked up 2 small bags of Open Sky, they do the best on this kibble. I add canned food as a topper & for dinner they get premade raw. That's the menu for now loll! I have 2 that's yeasty, since CC doesn't have potatoes in it, it totally cleared up the yeast problem. Princess' ears used to get brown gunk in it, now it's clear & it doesn't smell. Best of all, she stopped itching, she would scratch til it bled.

CC has never had a recall. They had one for Beaver canned food but it was for a mistake on the label.

I thought it was great food. I loved the ingredients. I got both the lamb and then we tried open sky but Galen had other plans. He really wasn't eating it that well. I changed him to Taste of the Wild and he loves it. . . Crazy pup. I think he loves the big pieces. Even when I first got him he was eating the adult regular sized pieces of CN lamb. Sometimes you never know what goes through those little heads of theirs. Good luck with it.

Thank you so much, this is very helpful..
I am researching a few Brands and CC is one of them..
It is such a headache..
There are not many limited ingredient brands out there..
I will put CC on my short list :)



PS What do you know about Ohio Pet Foods ?
You ever heard of Blackwoods ? It is made at OPF...

burns makes good dog and puppy food aswell

My boy has some pretty bad food allergies and we switched to CC about 3 months ago after California Natural got recalled twice in 6 months. Both my pups are doing great and love it!
I had them on Natural Balance LID before but I felt like it made them both poo a lot more than usual.
I like it, only problem here is I have to order it online and get a really big bag so I have to put it in containers so it doesn't go bad. I wish more stores sold it. Other than that I have been very happy with it.

Yes, i checked that out already. It looks like excellent food but the shipping cost to me for a 16 lb bag would be $16.00..

Have you looked into Natural Balance at all?

I recently started feeding Natural Balance. I love it. Priscilla does to. Someone posted about it making their dog poop more often and I agree. Priscilla done the same thing. A pet nutritionist at Petco recommended this to me. I started not to get it because of the price. You know that she did? She bought it for me. She stood by the product that much that she knew it would work and i would continue buying it. I went back to the store and told her about it making Priscilla poop more often. She said that she is pooping more because the food was cleaning her out and to wait two weeks. Sure enough two weeks later her pooping schedule went back to normal and her poop has never looked better. The nutritionist also told me that a lot of Yorkies are allergic to grain, I already knew that but i let her continue, she then told me a lot of yorkies are also allergic to chicken!!! I had never heard that in my life. I was also advised to give Priscilla baby carrots and bits of apples as treats because a lot of dog owners don't even think about treats causing allergic reactions. I recommend Natural Balance 5 stars!!!

I'm going to try the fish and sweet potato when we run out of our current food. I'm hoping the fish will give her cot extra luster and shine. I'm just facing the old saying if its not broke don't fix it lol

I actually called Petco and the main headquarters to brag about the pet nutritionist at my location. She knew every ingredient in Natural Balance without looking. She had an amazing story as well. She had a golden retriver that suffered from bloody diarrhea for 6 years. The acid in diarrhea was causing problems in her dogs bowels. She took him to the vet time and time again only to be sent home with a different brand of food. She had enough when her vet gave her food with chicken by product and she gave him a few choice words and left. She began doing her own research and tried Natural Balance a week into trying it her dog's stool was a normal and no trace of blood. for the first time in 6 years her dog wasn't suffering and pooped normally. This dog was her best friend and might not have lived much longer if it wasn't for this food.

I do like the Natural Balance , they did well on it ..
My problem is , its super expensive to feed to all 3 dogs . One of which is 80 lbs.. I had to buy a 12 lb bag every 2 weeks @ $42.00 a pop..:D
I am trying to find a good food that agrees with them all and not cost an arm and a leg.. Not an easy task :D

I've been feeding Peanut Open Sky now for 8/9 months and he has been doing great. Before I started him on CC he was a mess, watery eyes, tummy issues, itchy, hot spots, chewing his leg hair off, etc.

Everything is cleared up, in the worst allergy month's he has been great. No need for allergey pills any longer. He has been so healthy too, no vet trips, no tummy issues!!! We love CC.

Their office is seriously 5 minutes from me. The times I've delt with them everyone in the office were amazing. They were so nice and helpful and also so nice to Pnut, and gave us free 1 pound samples, buffalo chews and sweet potato chews! Which I gave to Pnut's friend across the street.

I would say for a sensitive tummy/ allergy proned doggy Open Sky is the way to go!!

I've never heard of Blackwoods & did a search for Ohio Pet Foods & found nothing.

If your's do well on NB & they can finish a 12# bag in 2 weeks, then you should get the biggest bag, saves you some $.;) I think NB also has frequent buyer programs, where you get a free bag after ? bags. Check w/your local pet store.

Yeah, it is not so much the size of the bag as the Price Tag..
They are not eating Natural Balance now anyway ..
They are currently eating Precise Holistic but it has too many ingredients and it is making them itchy..
The reason I need to find a limited ingredient kibble..

I think I am going to go with Verus..
I love the limited ingredients and the fact that it is a privately owned company..
I can get a 30 lb bag on Chewy.Com for $49.99


VeRUS Life Advantage Chicken Meal, Oats And Brown Rice Formula Dry Dog Food

Dogs with allergies, I had a poodle with severe skin allergy and the derm dr. said to put her on venison dog food. I did and she cleared up. Just an idea if you are at your wits end with allergies, try this food.

Ohio Pet Foods is GREAT; one of the best pet food manufacturing facilities, IMO!

I think CC is over-priced for what it is, but it seems to work well for dogs with sensitivities. And I do really like their ingredient panel and guaranteed analysis. Some of the formulas are a bit too high in ash for my liking. But overall, I think it's a good choice, and lots of dogs do well on it.

VeRUS is a fantastic food. I would feed it in a heartbeat if they had a formula that I thought would work for Jackson. He tends to have bigger, softer and more poo on mainly chicken-based formulas. And their lamb is too low in protein for my liking, since he is so active.

Annamaet and Dr. Tim's are other good foods made at Ohio Pet. :) Also, I believe Regal is made there... http://www.regalpetfoods.com/dog_food.html

I think Verus is a good choice too..
I like everything about the company ..
I like the ingredients too , even the Vitamin Pre-Mix is 100% USA made..
Let's hope my dogs are as happy with it as I am :D

I need to revise part of the comment above...
The Vitamin Pre-Mix is Not 100% USA made but it is 100% Non-Chinese ingredients.
I emailed Verus to ask about the the Vitamin Pre-Mix and this is the response..

to me, krystle
Hi Wanda,
Excellent question, Most pet food companies will tell you that they use no chinese ingredients. If you follow up, you will find out that when they say ingredients, they are not referring to the vitamins or minerals. China is now the only source of most pet grade vitamins and minerals because no one else in the world can make them so cheap. Of course, they are cheap because there are no inspections, guarantees, or certifications, that they are what they say. Or that they don't contain poisonous or harmful additives like melamine.
Our vitamin mix and our mineral mix are 100% non-chinese sourced. All but three of the vitamins/minerals are USA sourced. The others are European. Most of our vitamins and minerals are human grade or pharmaceutical grade. They are more expensive, but also, better quality, US produced, inspected, and safe for your pet.
I feed Verus Opticoat to my on dog, Scupper, and my cats eat the Feline, so I am very critical of what I will put in my food.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Russell
